"God doesn't give children with disabilities to strong people: He gives them to ordinary, everyday people, then He helps the parents to grow stronger through the journey. Raising a child with special needs doesn't TAKE a special family, it MAKES a special family."

Whitnee's interview went well this morning, Murphy's Law did take place and of course we had problems with the connection of SKYPE but we did manage to get the good stuff. If they decide to air the story it will air tomorrow Friday, January 29th at noon, on channel 11 KBYU.

If you do not get a chance to see it or if they don't air it, they will be sending me a copy and I will post it here on our blog, so keep checking back. It was fun for us to be apart of it and I hope it gets the idea out there of other options to help these little ones with disabilities attend preschool.

Whit got her new toilet chair yesterday, it is made by Rifton and so far has been wonderful, she has really loved sitting in it. She actually went on her second try, I think Mom was more excited then she was, I got some strange looks when I was praising her. Her reward for going was a bowl of ice cream with chocolate fudge topping. YUMMY!!!!!!!

What I did not realize when we ordered this chair was that it is also a shower chair, WOW was I excited to see that, my back won't be able to take much more lifting from the tub. Now to just remodel her bathroom in ripping out the tub and replacing it with a shower.(If you are interested in more info on this chair go to www.rifton.com)

I got a phone call about a week ago from the BYU Daily News to do a story on how Whitnee attends Preschool with the BEST preschool ever ACHIEVER PRESCHOOL in Spanish Fork. Apparently they read about it on our blog and found it really interesting. (he did say that he would give me a copy of the story so we will be able to post it here later).

They will be coming to film Whitnee in class tomorrow morning. I am really hoping that we have an AWESOME connection with SKPYE tomorrow. With my luck we won't and will have reschedule. LOL, no we have not had any problems lately.

So yesterday I took her to get her hair cut, which turned out way way cute, it totally fits her personality. THANK YOU PAM!!!!! (Kort got her hair styled way cute too). I will have to post a picture later, trying to get my office cleaned so no one see's how I really function. LOL (no it amazes me how a 7 week stay in the hospital throws everything off, including filing papers and how fast piles of paper can stack up, I am almost caught up.)
